"Lux Drywall is the best!!! Brett did a great job on my drywall. I had six or so, holes in my ceiling from putting in recessed lighting. He was very neat & clean with drywall dust and you can’t even tell there was a hole. Thanks, Tim"

"Tom was great. As his job proceeded there were plumbing problems, but he worked around the plumbers. His price is fair, he was dependable, clean, and respectful of my house. I have another drywall project and I plan on hiring Tom again."

"I hired PV Painting to paint and do some drywall repair on the interior walls of my home. Petar, the owner, did an outstanding job. He arrived on time every day. He took great care of my home. He covered my furniture and floors before starting work. He used good paint products. He cleaned up at the end of every day. He left matching paint for us; a very nice touch. Petar's skills in painting and drywall are exceptional. I could easily see Petar takes great pride in his work. He was friendly and professional in all my dealings. I did end up adding more work to my project while he was here and he graciously accommodated me. I really appreciated that. I would not hesitate to hire him again!"

"I had the absolute best experience choosing JRC Improvement for a complete living room ceiling takedown and install. Any drywall work is always messy, however, Jason sealed off my living room so well, it truly contained the expected dust. Jason was prompt, professional and knowledgeable. After completing the entire ceiling, he primed, and painted beautifully. The craftsmanship and attention to detail he used, led to the entire project exceeding expectations. My ceiling is flawless, and he also installed a brand new fan. Extremely easy to work with, Jason, restored my faith in contractors. I would without hesitation, recommend Jason, and JRC Improvement for any home project!"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Plaster ceilings can sag for several reasons. In some cases, the plaster and other building materials shift and come apart over time, which is why you’ll commonly find drooping plaster ceilings in older homes. Improper installation, foot traffic, and water damage—often from a leaky roof or a broken pipe—can also cause plaster ceilings to sag.

Plastering and skimming are two different techniques for finishing walls. Plastering involves applying a thick layer of a plaster mixture—typically containing gypsum, lime, cement, sand, and water—to create a new surface. This process often requires multiple coats and is used for repairing significant damage or creating decorative textures. Skimming, on the other hand, is a technique that involves applying a thin layer of drywall compound or joint compound over an existing surface to smooth it out, covering minor imperfections, small cracks, or uneven textures for a polished look. Plastering is generally more costly and labor-intensive than skimming. Although some people use the terms interchangeably, they refer to different processes and materials.

Drywall insulation costs around $1,800, on average, but prices can range from $500 to $4,500, depending on a few different factors. The following things are important considerations to make when pricing out your insulation project:

  • Square footage of insulation

  • Type of insulation 

  • Climate in your area and the insulation R-value required

  • Whether or not your walls are already finished

  • Accessibility of the area 

  • Whether or not you need old insulation removed first

Yes, as drywall mud is going to have some uneven spots and bumps after application. Such imperfections are going to be visible after everything dries and even after you paint the wall, so you want to remove them. Learning how to sand drywall, taking your time, and following drywall sanding tips can help you have the best results.

You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.
